Hello All,
I was given a Galaxy W (SGH-T679M) to fix for a friend. Previously they had someone screw around with the pattern lock and couldnt figure it out. Originally could not even get into Stock Recovery because the Android icon would appear, the screen would stay on the picture for a few seconds then reboot.
So I managed to get a CMW 6 on there for a recovery. I have used Odin to return to stock even put on different ROM's (Like Peach Sunrise) and when the device boots, it goes through the Out Of Box setup, then once you hit the power button to lock the phone or let the LCD turn off on its own to lock im back at the same screen that says "Too Many Pattern Attempts".
This person also had their information changed to they can't sign in with the Google Account they had on it. The account was created a few years back and they dont know any of the information.
Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?

That's a very interesting Galaxy W you have there... Anyway, just clear data. There's no point in doing anything else...
Sent from my 4.1 running Galaxy W.
Okay, So yes this isn't a Galaxy Wonder...Its an Exhibit II after doing some digging...But still I cant get past this screen.
So what happens is that if I flash say ICS or JB the "Too Many pattern attempts" screen is not present...However if I flash back to any GB ROM, custom or Stock..The device boots up for the 1st time just fine...then once you press the power button or the phone times out and "sleeps" the screen comes back.
A wipe in Recovery only gets it working 1 time and then after it locks or sleeps that's it.
Factory reset will remove the pattern

Key integral information would be what ROM and software you're using now. Some launchers have extra settings, that can inhibit the Android security settings if they conflict.
Also, you might find the answer by posting to the Thread where you've gotten your custom ROM...you might even find the answer (drum roll & dramatic pause for effect) searching.
currently i am using original firmware 2.3.6 from tmobile;
i restore by using: SGH-T989_TMB_1_T989UVKL1_CL799405_REV00

turn your phone off. press and hold volume up and volume down + power button (at the same time) then scroll with volume up till you see "recovery" press power button . wait untill u see an android logo, then press power + volume up . a menu will be shown. choose wipe data )by scrolling with volume) then hit power. choose wipe cache then power. choose reboot system now then power

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.

Really trying to figure this out. Every time i Press the Power Button my phone immediately shuts off instead of going to the option to reboot or screenshot. It was fine earlier but now I cant use the shortcut to reboot into recovery or just reboot the phone + the lockscreen does not show up after 3 or 4 min after the phone is off (and yes the phone isn't set to go off in 10 min, just 1) can somebody please help or point me to a thread that shows me what the deal is? Thank you so much!

ROM/kernel you are running. Also pressing the power button IMMEDIATELY shuts the phone, keeping the power button pressed brings up the reboot menu.
Jedix20 Rom and the Stock kernel it came with. When I press the power button and the screen turns off. When I press it again it doesnt go to the lockscreen. And if I hold it just for 2 seconds instead of the pop up option to reboot the phone it just shuts the phone off. Normally it takes like 4-5 seconds after I hold it for it to completly power off. Now it doesnt do it anymore. I tried reverting back to the Stock GB through odin and it still doesnt work. I thought it was perhaps something wrong with the system files so I tried factory resetting JediX20. No good. I booted into download mode and installed stock through odin. No good. And I Installed Jedix20 back again. I had a factory test message with some box pop up on the screen and stayed primaraly on the home screen.. it looked like a debug mode. I downloaded Titanium and deleted those files and the factory mode with the phone information vanished. Im just trying to figure out why wont the lockscreen appear anymore or the options to boot to recovery, reboot, airplane mode ext. Wont appear.

It may be a hardware issue, as it is also happening on the stock rom. IMHO I would take it back to stock (remember to reset the flash count) and take it your carrier. Keep in mind that your phone has a 1 year warranty since the day it was delivered to the first customer.
Not really a possibility. I bought this outright and its on straight talk. Ive flashed pac 4.3 and it works like a charm. It only happens on touchwiz but why? I have no clue. It was fine untill a couple days ago. I know that since it did work on an aosp based rom that the problem lies somewhere in the touchwiz roms files.

Phone is in factory mode. Either your efs is corrupted or the phone has detected a crash somewhere else. Just google factory mode to see how to get out of it..usually by if you backed up your efs you could restore them and reboot

I flashed back to pacman 4.3 for a few days and it worked fine....then I reflashed jedix20 after 2 days and it was back to normal. Weird though. Im sure it was the efs thing you mentioned though

Never flashed anything before? No custom recovery (such as CWM recovery), no kernels, no root, no ROMs, no apps requiring root access to modify system files and no mods? Looks pretty unlikely to me considering the behaviour you're describing. Anyway, if you didn't do any of the things above, could you try another battery in?

Try wipe data /factory reset
I have same problem when I was upgrade my SGW into stockrom 2.3.6
when i finished upgrading with odin, the phone is boot loop at samsung logo, restart and back again.
so I turn off the phone, wait until it really off, then I push together = home+volume up+power button.
when the phone is turn on, release the power button only. and then release all button.
it will entering the stock recovery mode, if theres only show the android logo, just press the menu button, and it will show the option.
choose the wipe data/factory reset. and then reboot.
I solve the problem by doing that. Maybe it will help you. thanks.
